chance feeling point special states time type united wisconsin won
Wisconsin hasn't won a championship in a long time and the United States had never had a championship at that point for the World Juniors. I think it's the same type of feeling that we have a chance to do something special for Wisconsin.
advantage bear happen last lose minnesota night realize sure upset
It was to our advantage to see Minnesota lose last night. To see them get upset like that made us bear down and realize that we can't let this happen to ourselves. We had to make sure that didn't happen.
college definitely game good league playing reputation takes team though whatever win
Even though in our league and in college there's no fighting, when he's a professional, that'll definitely be part his role. He's just playing the game hard. He'll do whatever it takes for his team to win and be successful. I think that's a good reputation to have.
excited explain fans guys tradition
Everything considered, it's really something that you can't really explain how excited guys are. Even guys who aren't from Wisconsin, they want to see how the Packers fans are and the tradition of Lambeau Field.
cool focus goal guys hear kept toward work
It's pretty cool for guys to hear a story like that and work with a guy who kept his focus and kept working toward a goal he really wanted.
cold days definitely excited feeling five hockey layers outdoor played pond toes wore worried worth
It's back to the pond hockey days when we played on outdoor rinks when I was little and wore five layers of everything. I couldn't feel my toes and I couldn't feel my hands. It'll be the same feeling there, but it'll definitely be worth it. I'll be so excited I probably won't even be worried about how cold it is.
definitely good guys half happy note second urgency win year
Guys weren't happy about it. So I think it's definitely a sense of urgency to get our second half of the year started on a good note and win our own tournament.
